PHP using boolean when type is bool

[leon-v]

Current behaviour:

<?
/**
 * { function_description }
 *
 * @param      boolean  $test   The test
 *
 * @return     boolean  ( description_of_the_return_value )
 */
function test(bool $test = false) : bool {
	return $test;
}
?>

Expected behaviour:

/**
 * { function_description }
 *
 * @param      bool  $test   The test
 *
 * @return     bool  ( description_of_the_return_value )
 */
function test(bool $test = false) : bool {
	return $test;
}
?>

I recommend changing type boolean to bool.

In PHP boolean is a synonym of bool, but boolean values true and false are of type bool.

The importance of adhering to bool over boolean is because:

function test(boolean $test = true){ ... }

would produce a fatal error when the default is used as the default true is bool and not boolean

Thanks,

In the next release:

• "bool" will replace "boolean"
• "int" will replace "integer"

Awesome! had only just realised integer was used as well. Was not far off writing up another issue.
Thank you !
